Nghe An OCOP products 'catch the wave' of Tet market

With only 3 weeks left until Lunar New Year 2025, OCOP product owners in the province are boosting production to meet market demand.

Coming to Hung Tan commune, Hung Nguyen district in the last days of the year, households making banh ca and com are busy producing to meet Tet orders. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, Head of the Farmers' Association of Nam village (Hung Tan commune) said: "The banh ca product with 3 OCOP stars is also a snack, a rustic gift that is favored by customers and consumed strongly during the Lunar New Year. Around the 10th lunar month every year is the peak time for Tet production for households. During Tet, output increases 3-4 times compared to normal days". Photo: TP
